Hydrogen-dislocation interactions have always been a crucial problem in understanding and predicting the longstanding hydrogen embrittlement (HE) phenomenon in structural metals. Particularly with respect to hydrogen diffusion, dislocations have often been ...
To accelerate the exploration, screening, and discovery of structural high-entropy alloys with targeted properties, the newly developed High-Throughput Hot-Isostatic-Pressing based Micro-Synthesis Approach (HT-HIP-MSA) is employed to efficiently synthesize ...
The contact nature when monolayer blue phosphorus (blueP) interfaces with three transition metal electrodes (i. e., Pd, Ir, and Pt) was unraveled by the ab initio density functional theory calculations. Specifically, n-type Schottky contact is observed for ...
An ab initio density functional theory study on the candidacy of single-walled black phosphorus nanotubes (BPNTs) towards sensing several common toxic gas molecules (NH3, CO, NO, NO2, and SO2) was conducted. Various adsorption characteristics, including th ...
The urgent need for clean energy coupled with the exceptional promise of hydrogen (H) as a clean fuel is driving development of new metals resistant to hydrogen embrittlement. Experiments on new fcc high entropy alloys present a paradox: these alloys absor ...
By combining experiments and first-principles calculations, Y-doped Sb7Se3 thin films were successfully fabricated and investigated. Our results suggest that Y is one promising dopant for simultaneously enhancing thermal stability, increasing phase change ...
The single layer Zn44Sb39Se17 thin film, being fabricated by Sb70Se30 and Zn using co-sputtering method, exhibits double phase change transition. The double phase change processes are mainly attributed to the crystallization of the Sb and ZnSb phases. The ...
Hydrogen (H) embrittlement in multicomponent austenitic alloys is a serious limitation to their application in many environments. Recent experiments show that the High-Entropy Alloy (HEA) CoCrFeMnNi absorbs more H than 304 Stainless Steel but is less prone ...
The present work developed a new variational line tension model (LTM) that accounts for contributions from the local line energy, long-range interaction among dislocation segments, and interplay between dissociated partials. This new LTM has been shown to ...
Black phosphorus (BP) is a semiconducting material with a direct finite band gap in its monolayer, attracting intense attention for its application in field-effect transistors. However, strong Fermi level pinning (FLP) has been observed for contacts betwee ...
